Deputies: Pontiac teen filed false police report that she was abducted and raped

Detectives say that a teen who recently told authorities she was kidnapped while walking down a Pontiac street -- and later, was raped -- filed a false police report.

The Pontiac girl, 14, said on June 25 she was walking on Rundell Street when she was abducted by two unknown male teens who forced her into a townhouse.

Deputies responded to a call from the girl from McLaren Oakland Hospital shortly after the alleged incident. She added that the two teens physically assaulted and raped her and wouldn't let her leave the townhouse until the next morning.

"The 14-year-old has now admitted that she knew both young men that allegedly abducted her and that she willingly had sex with both of them," read a Monday release sent by the sheriff's office.

She explained to detectives that she reported the false attack because she was afraid of getting in trouble at home.

While the sex was consensual, said Undersheriff Mike McCabe in a release, no one under 16 years old -- the "age of consent," according to lawmakers -- can technically consent to have sex. The incident would still be in violation of Michigan's criminal sexual conduct statutes, McCabe said.

"The 14-year-old and the two 15-year-olds cannot consent to having sex even though it was mutual on their parts," added McCabe.

Authorities report that a juvenile petition will be filed requesting that the girl be charged with filing a false police report, and the entire case will be reviewed to include the Michigan law violations, as well.
